Previous Main Story Next
Audience AEh? What’s going on?
Audience BIs this part of the show?
Audience AI think the power went out?
IzumiManager, how’s the breaker?
ManagerIt’s no good! We can’t get the power back?
IzumiOh no....
(I can’t believe this is happening to our final performance....)
Guy——.
Izumi(It hurts to stop the show here, especially considering Guy-san’s feelings. But right now, the safety of our actors and audience members comes first.)
I guess we have no choice. Let’s stop the performance—.
Chris“The lights went out...?”
Raoul“What is this? What’s going on?”
Richard“Who put out the lights!? Turn them back on!”
Audience A...Eh?
Izumi(Ad-libs....)
Phil“Perhaps it’s Erik’s spirit.”
Carl“D-don’t be ridiculous! I’ve had enough of this tomfoolery.”
Izumi(They’re trying to connect the scene to Guy-san... They all want to let him say that line.)
Audience AMaybe it was part of the show?
Audience BMaybe?
Izumi(The audience thinks it’s part of the show, so they’re calm. If we keep going....)
Manager, how long will it take for us to get power back?
ManagerIt won’t come back right away, but if we use our emergency power supply, we can manage a spotlight or two.
IzumiGot it.
(I’ll use the cue card to send them stage directions—draw the scene out for a little longer....)
Tsumugi——.
Izumi(Good, he got it...!)
Chris“...So you still intend to feign ignorance, Richard?”
Richard“What do you mean, feign ignorance? I’m innocent.”
Raoul“Enough of this! We have witnesses, you know!”
ManagerDirector, we’re ready!
IzumiAll right!
(We’ll make it to that scene, everyone—-!)
Tsumugi——.
Chris“I hear his song....”
Richard“This can’t be—.”
Chris“Anyone who has heard Erik’s voice in the past would know that it’s really him.”
Richard“Ridiculous.... That’s right, you have no proof. You’re simply copying his voice....”
Izumi(Guy-san, now’s your moment!)
Guy....

Phantom“I do have proof.”
“This face that you burned ten years ago is the most decisive evidence—.”
Richard“——.”
Izumi(This scene couldn’t be any more tense—.)
Chris“Erik...! Oh no, you need treatment right away—!”
Phantom“No. After all these years, a ghost cannot be wounded.”
Raoul“Chris! Run!”
Chris“Erik!!”
Phantom“The curtain has not fallen yet.”
“Let me dedicate my last song to you, my friend....”
Izumi(Guy-san chose a Phantom who cast aside both his desire for revenge and his obsession with song; a Phantom who is simply left with affection and gratitude for his friend....)
(The joy of singing on stage again.... as if atoning for his sins, he disappears quietly, solemnly, into the flames.)
*Applause*
Guy——.
TsumugiAmazing. This is the most applause we’ve gotten.
HomareIt’s a standing ovation. I can tell even in the dark.
TasukuYou did it, Guy-san.
HisokaThat was your best performance.
Guy...It’s thanks to everyone here.
AzumaFufu. I didn’t know you could make that kind of expression.
HomareIt’s a rare shot!
Hisoka...A version up?
GuyIt’s part of the standard equipment.
*Applause*
AzumaThe applause just won’t stop.
TsumugiLet’s go! It’s the curtain call.
Citron<<...There is nothing more fun than standing on stage with everyone in this troupe.>>
Guy<<...Fun?>>
Citron<<...You wouldn’t understand, huh.>>
GuyCitronia... I....
